Are you someone who finds themselves reliving the past, unable to move on? Or do you embrace fresh starts without looking back? Perhaps you’re caught somewhere in between—stuck in memories yet hesitant to move forward?
Nina Goyal moves to Delhi, ready for a fresh start with a new job and the thrill of independent living. With a little nudge from her best friend, Amy Sharma, she even finds a cozy apartment in the same neighborhood. Everything seems to be falling into place—until she realizes that Amy is none other than the sister of her ex-boyfriend, Sandy Sharma.
Sandy isn’t just any ex. Their relationship ended on messy, complicated terms, leaving behind a tangle of unresolved emotions. What was supposed to be a refreshing new chapter quickly turns into an awkward comedy of errors when fate (and professional circumstances) throw them together again. When Sandy suggests that his newest client hire Nina for a high-profile campaign, the past collides with the present in ways neither of them could have anticipated.
What follows is a whirlwind of “what ifs,” “what the hells,” and “maybes” that unravel hidden emotions, revisit old wounds, and pave the way for new possibilities. With sharp humor, heartfelt moments, and a touch of fate, this story is a delightful blend of love, laughter, and second chances.
Told with witty narration, sarcastic banter, and deeply relatable characters, the novel beautifully captures the complexities of relationships, the weight of past baggage, and the fine line between moving on and holding on. It’s a story about love, family, friendship, career aspirations, and the messy but wonderful journey of self-discovery.
If you enjoy slow-burn, non-spicy romance that celebrates the raw, unfiltered beauty of love and human connection, this book is a must-read. With its realistic emotions and heartwarming storytelling, it’s the perfect pick for readers who adore second-chance romance with a fresh, modern twist.
